Wifi Revolution

MobileAccess, announced Monday that its award-winning, multi-service in-building wireless solution is now WiMAX (News - Alert)-ready with a MIMO product introduction. With the innovative solution MobileAccess aims to provide the highest business-quality indoor WiMAX performance and reducing deployment costs by up to 50 percent.

 

The MobileAccess WiMAX module is reportedly the first in-building WiMAX solution of its kind. The solution seamlessly integrates with the company's Universal Wireless Network to provide a plug-and-play solution that delivers WiMAX services over existing MobileAccess deployments. The company points out that the solution is well suited for the thousands of deployments planned by Mobile WiMAX operators across the globe.

 

The newly enhanced Universal Wireless Network solution overcomes the physical limitations of conventional building infrastructures. The solution provides highly-scalable, high-speed access to a range of state-of-the-art applications enabled by Mobile WiMAX such as localized personal information alerts, streaming audio/videoconferencing, content on demand and advanced mobile commerce.

 

Cathy Zatloukal, CEO of MobileAccess explains that although the focus on WiMAX up to now has been on fixed solutions that provide only last mile connectivity to the home, carriers have made great strides toward rolling out Mobile WiMAX. Their new solution will be instrumental in bringing the services inside buildings because it eliminates the need for customers to install a cabled infrastructure dedicated to supporting WiMAX.

Zatloukal believes that with their Universal Wireless Network, they can tap the potential of 4G speeds and services when and where they will need it.

 

Utilizing the new solution, existing MobileAccess customers can seamlessly add the Mobile WiMAX module into their telecom closets and turn on new wireless services over their existing Universal Wireless Network. According to MobileAccess, new customers of MobileAccess' flexible fiber/coax-based in-building wireless solution can also easily add Mobile WiMAX capabilities, in addition to other wireless services such as cellular voice, public safety radio, wireless LAN and wireless medical telemetry, over the same shared infrastructure.

 

“MobileAccess' WiMAX solution enables current customers such as Akridge to have an instant migration path to next-generation wireless services, such as building automation, without the need for an infrastructure overhaul or new cabling,” said Tommy Russo, director of information technology for Akridge Real Estate Services in a statement.

 

Russo believes this capability will allow MobileAccess customers in the multi-tenant building and retail markets to continue to reap the financial and operational benefits of a well-coordinated infrastructure approach that supports the growing spectrum of wireless services.

Hassan Marvi, director of technology operations at American University said that Mobile WiMAX will offer myriad benefits to the education market. He added that their MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network will enable them to easily offer Mobile WiMAX services to students, faculty and staff when the need arises.
